An old neighbor of mine is turning 80 this week. I grew up next door to him, worked with him at the neighborhood convenience store, and also worked with him at the polls. We always had so much fun working together. He's got a funny, gruff exterior and a kind heart. I saw this stamp set at the Stamp Expo last week and talked myself out of buying it. I call this non-buyer's remorse. I had to order it online so I could use it for Jim's card. This was a great sketch for this card. I colored and cut the goat with my ScanNCut and put him on an action wobble. I used ExactlyWrite Address guide to line up all the 80s for the background.

Excellent! Love how you used the layout for this old goat card. Terrific idea to have the milestone "80" repeated in the background. Love the goat! How fun to use a wobble action for him, too. Great card for your friend. Thanks for joining in the Sketch Challenge today!
